Try and travel up or down Richards Road on a United match day, absolute pandemonium... cars park on both sides of the road, on corners... I feel sorry for the bus drivers, it must be a test of nerves trying not to rip off mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parked vehicles aren’t contravening restrictions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The example you are giving, based on a blades home game, might happen around once a fortnight in the football season, for about an hour. I’d suspect that the “big” visitor centre isn’t going to attract huge numbers. The national football museum in Manchester has about 500 visitors on average per day of opening (based on 2022/23 figures). This isn’t going to be as big an attraction. It will be interesting to see what traffic impacts the applicants are forecasting and what mitigations they feel are needed. I can’t see the application on the planning portal yet.

Bit of a harsh tone there? Anyway, I know rugby union has lost a huge amount of clubs recently, perhaps they were getting confused between union and league?

That is at least the third time the poster has been confused/careless since this thread started in November, the fact that rugby union has lost some clubs (I would query "a huge amount" by the way!) is not relevant in any way. If you review the entire thread I think I have shown huge restraint so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we classing going into administration three times as "going bust"? If so: Bradford Bulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
